TERRA 708: Trapped!

Produced by Emily Narrow

Synopsis

How do you film wild animals that don’t want to be filmed? That is the question Emily Narrow faces as a student wildlife filmmaker in Bozeman, Montana. Trapped! is a short documentary film about remote wildlife cameras, and Emily’s attempt to use these cameras to connect with nature. The film follows her as she sets her first camera traps, and tries to get the kind of intimate portraits of wildlife that have eluded her so far. Trapped! takes a lighthearted look at Emily’s successes and failures at camera trapping, while highlighting the simple joy that comes from connecting with nature.

About the Producer

Emily Nar­row grew up in Bethesda, Mary­land, and had a love for wildlife and the out­doors at an early age. She attended Ober­lin Col­lege, where she double-majored in Biology and Cin­ema Stud­ies. After grad­u­a­tion she became a pro­ducer at a video pro­duc­tion com­pany in Wash­ing­ton DC. Here she worked on video projects for envi­ron­men­tal groups and non-profit orga­ni­za­tions such as Envi­ron­men­tal Defense Action Fund, The Pew Char­i­ta­ble Trusts, The Union of Con­cerned Sci­en­tists, and many more. She has also worked independently as a video pro­ducer for the National Park Ser­vice. She cur­rently is pur­su­ing an MFA in Sci­ence and Nat­ural His­tory Film­mak­ing at Mon­tana State Uni­ver­sity. Her goal is to make nature films that are both infor­ma­tive and enter­tain­ing – and which ulti­mately inspire view­ers to strengthen their own rela­tion­ship with the nat­ural world.
